[Unusual Suspect]

Nonsense.

Pretty sure Justin Sather is 100% safe.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Is $ather back?! Just put the last nail in the NYR coffin already. He was a terrible GM and to have him as an advisor to Dolan, just wow.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

The amount of movement in the franchise (and more to come) stinks to high hell for a team that would currently be in the playoffs if they were in any of the other three divisions.

Culture change? You got it.

Congratulations Slats and Dole.

We have nothing to lose and Glen Sather know this, because next season is crucial for us to show the fans the new direciton and style of hockey, and too many underperform with the previous coaching staff.

It is literally a wake up call. Haaland wake up the whole team in Dortmund and won the german cup this evening with 2 goals with Sancho both world class soccer players in age of 20!

To be brief our younger top talents need better coaching; they need to achieve and unlock their raw talent skills and set to improve the whole Rangers team. Next season is a new chapter in the Rangers history. It might take 2 seasons to achieve playoffs, but I felt it was necassary.

A wake up call for a team that’s just learning to jog from a brisk walk. Could’ve just fired the coach, that would’ve been enough.

And no the next season was never crucial, but now they just made it that way.

The bars opened back up so he’s probably got his hands full trying to keep his family from beating up bartenders

East Coast - I usually laugh and move on but have to acknowledge this subtle, dry, gem of a post.

 

[Kovalev27]

Quit panicking sather never left and has no desire to do anymore than he already does

Drury is no puppet

and Leetch is good buddies with Quinn and Gorton wasn’t doing any actual work anyway so he’s being a baby which he’s often been thru the years as much as I love the guy for what he did.

Yeah my post was tongue-in-cheek, I was expecting people to freak out that his departure spelled doom.

Well there are a few of them in here LOL

Not from me locally changing the HTML he's not.

 

[LORDE]

Leetch (and Richards) were Gorton hires from 2017.

In contrast, Slats traded Leetch on his birthday without even calling him first.

Are you saying there might be a connection?

 

[Leetch3]

sather knows how to keep dolan out of things...thats his super power at this point

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Lots of agitation about a guy leaving the franchise that 99% of us didn't even know had a role with the franchise.

 

[Kodiak]

I knew Glass, Jorts, and Eminger were on the payroll. Had NO idea that Ruutu worked for the team.

Ruutu helped Kakko adjust to life in the NHL during his rookie season.

Rangers enlist Tuomo Ruutu to help boost Kaapo Kakko's game

Agreed. You miss the playoffs again... no big deal but then you fire Quinn. OK
Offseason moves are made or signings or resigning, extensions etc. OK
Season starts w expectations based on young team taking next step and new coach.

NOW it's "NYR CLEAN HOUSE IN MIDDLE OF LIGHT SPEED REBUILD"

Only one way no one second guesses any of what has already transpired (let alone the rest of the off season moves) and that's with a cup... so... yeah. When that doesn't happen this place will implode, then explode like the Big Bang.

Ruutu was the one mentoring Kaako through his tough start last year.

Might be related based on this clip, but who knows:

 

[MrAlmost]

Eh. Whatever gets us as far away from the 94 team as possible. I'm sick of hearing about it and its pathetic to parade it around like they do cause they only have 1 in 80 years. That's not Leetch's fault, but man if I see one more damn documentary about it with the same answers and same stories my head will explode.

Hire more skills and skating coaches. Hire more analytics people. Hire more scouts. Flex the big wallet.

 

[chosen]

Maybe Graves is next to walk the plank?

 

[Ardi44]

Honestly? who cares

 

[MrAlmost]

Maybe Graves is next to walk the plank?

Maybe, but Graves has always been more involved. Unless you follow, intently, the front office, the scouts and the Hockey Ops department as a whole you would never know Leetch and Richards worked for the Rangers. Graves actually goes to development camps, meets with players and engages with the team staff.

Less guys collecting legacy checks and more guys helping turn this franchise into a well oiled, player producing machine.

I think I read in one of the Finnish papers that he's also been in regular contact with Pajuniemi. Sounds like he's doing good work.

Not sure why but this alarms me a lot. What exactly does "Player Development" stand for in this case? Are we talking about character building or on ice?

Depends on the team, but a lot of Player Development departments are pretty much player support. Making sure they are getting the tools/access they need for success at whatever point they are in their careers, depending on how the organization views that player at any given moment. Be it training, dietary, education, etc.
